SEAI - Apartment Charging Grant

Quote
The apartment charger grant assists residents and owners of apartments and other multi-unit developments who want to install a home charger for their Electric Vehicle (EV) and which are not covered by the pre-existing grants. The grant is designed for bulk installation of chargers at a single location, and supports cabling, infrastructure, labour, and construction costs. Owners’ management companies, housing bodies, local authorities, commercial and private landlords can apply. 

There have been teething problems though.  Don't know if this was an SEAI grant but a comrade lives in an council flat in Finglas and they installed communal EV chargers in his complex.  Problem is everybody took a cut along the way and the quoted price for charging is the same as the external chargers in petrol stations etc.  He's adamant he's not gonna pay more than his house/flat electricity rate and there's a stand-off.

Halo Season 2 is pretty amazing!

Apart from Working Class families in Britain and Ireland how many other car owners have their own parking space .China are the biggest users of EVs and most of them live in appartments .Unlikely they are designed not to take fast charge .Remember the Oil business have a vested interest is starting rumours .

Bullit be on giving out about him Ken in SKAN in Cabra a gent and does quality work neat and tidy .
Did Ken in Skan do the meter change over, or did you get a new fangled mirror meter?

I would have gone the same road as yourself with the EV charger, but I still have to get the house upgrade.

I'm waiting on clearance from the CU. 

The CU seem to only consider covering the €20,000 bridging loan AFTER you purchase the car. Sheesh!

Happy motoring with the new car.

Changeover it was a newish mirror meter .Silver you dont need to rewire a whole house .If you can get motoring for 15K use on street like Watty car comes with a three pin plug in slooooooow charger you can plug in beside the telly get you enough poke to get to on street charger .The Grim Reaper is not to far behind us so can you really justify putting big coin into a car or rewiring and justify it .If you are over this side of town drop in and you can take my thing for a spin .We will get Rapppppppppid chargers in a few years and both our cars and home chargers will be obsolete like a Nokia .Dont waste real money on imaginary technology .Think of it this way even if on street costs a bit more than home charging you are still in a new car for 15K and still probably cheaper to run than the hybrid.
John, are you saying its still a good idea to go electric if you live in an apartment.  To fast charge in the streets? Most motoring commentators don’t recommend that

It's early days to make a call on there quality. I'll be watching, yer the Guinea pigs for me. I know of 3 people who have thrown in the towel on them. The 3 of them didn't pass 250,000 kms, that's not good.

A bloke with a 50k loan over 5 years is paying €200 + interest + insurance + maintenance + NCTS fees + licence fees with no holidays or sick leave. Not a lot in the difference, one way or the other, but I guess there must still be a decent profit in it... for now. Of course, the renting man can walk away if/when that changes.

Bang average if you ask me. Why can't talentless celebrity kids just get a normal job? Look at the beckham kids, all useless but they act like they are special, Brooklyn has the nerve to call himself a chef because his hobby is cooking.

Another Guy Ritchie cracker:

Written by Navanman Stuart Carolan.

The Gentlemen.

https://www.netflix.com/ie/title/81437051

1st couple of episodes were good, and it's good if you accept it as farce, but like most series it gets more absurd with each episode.
